This time I picked up an infrared controlled toy car at my charity shop. It was in a pretty sorry state missing the back tyres and no transmitter to control it. When I looked it over I decided it was worth buying for the component parts but it would not be suitable as a toy for my grandchildren to play with. So my "Gold or Garbage?" award was Garbage as a toy but Gold as a source of components. Here is the car I made with the parts https://youtu.be/DLcj07KuCL4 Here is a selection of related playlists Charity Shop Gold or Garbage playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB14bwwnAIt54ZWwWBktc445 Toy Cars playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3lGxxzEo_ZDnjnOtIlk50Q Radio Control Remote Control playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB13Xcquw4Ff09MQzTPjeVkI Infrared remote control https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0twF3brpsYS56Jv3iDtaU2 My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2mp_L8RoxMyw3ewwSecZ6Q Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/
